# Washington Voting Rights Act

The Washington Voting Rights Act (WVRA) is a state law in the U.S. state of Washington that aims to protect voting rights and prevent discrimination. It is the second state level voting rights act to be enacted after the California Voting Rights Act, which inspired the WVRA, was approved in 2002. It was enacted in the aftermath of a lawsuit against the city of Yakima under the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965. Among its provisions, the act allows individuals to issue a request for voting by districts as opposed to at-large elections, something that was a key issue in the lawsuit against Yakima. It also requires public notification of proposed changes to elections. In 2023 the Washington State Legislature passed HB 1048 to strengthen the WVRA. In 2023 the Washington Supreme Court upheld the WVRA in a unanimous (9–0) opinion.

## Legislative history

The state's Voting Rights Act was proposed in response to weakening of the federal Voting Rights Act. Among its provisions was the closing of a loophole that forbid cities in Washington of a certain size from using district-based elections for city councils unless they had switched from at-large elections prior to 1994.

### SB 6002

The WVRA was introduced as SB 6002 in the 2018 session of the Washington State Legislature. On January 19, 2018, it passed the Washington State Senate by a vote of 29 in favor and 19 against. On February 27, 2018, it passed the Washington House of Representatives as amended by a vote of 52 in favor and 46 against. The amended bill was then agreed to by the Washington State Senate by a vote of 29 in favor and 20 against. On March 19, 2018, Governor Jay Inslee signed the bill into law.

### HB 1048

HB 1048 (AN ACT Relating to enhancing the Washington voting rights act) was introduced in the 2023 session of the Washington State Legislature to strengthen the WVRA. It passed the Washington House of Representatives on March 4, 2023, by a vote of 57 in favor and 38 against. On April 5, 2023, the bill passed the Washington State Senate by a vote of 27 in favor and 21 against. It was signed into law by Governor Jay Inslee on April 13, 2023, and went into effect on January 1, 2024.

## Uses

The act has been used in two lawsuits filed against counties in Eastern Washington: one against Yakima County for alleged disenfranchisement of Latino voters; and another in Franklin County that alleged that Latino votes were diluted under the existing districts.

The park is divided into sections that are on different parts of the island. It has the largest camping complex in the Thousand Islands region, including wilderness campsites on the banks of the St. Lawrence accessible only by foot or boat. The park is open year-round.

## History

The Thousand Island State Park Commission began purchasing farmland on Wellesley Island in 1951, and opened Wellesley Island State Park in 1954. The park was preceded by two other state parks on Wellesley Island, Dewolf Point and Waterson Point, both of which were established in 1898 as part of the St. Lawrence Reservation.
In 2004, Reserve America named Wellesley Island State Park one of the top 100 campgrounds in the nation.

# Wayne Gibson

Wayne Gibson was the stage name of Edward William "Bill" Allen (15 December 1942 – 1 April 2004). He was an English pop singer who had two hits on the UK Singles Chart, "Kelly" in 1964 and "Under My Thumb" in 1974.

## Career

In the early 1960s, he was lead singer in a South London-based band, the Tornadoes (unrelated to the instrumental group, the Tornados), who then changed their name to Wayne Gibson & the Dynamic Sounds. Other band members included Mick Todman (lead guitar), Ray Rogers (bass), Pete Gillies (rhythm guitar) and Larry Cole (drums). In 1961-62, they performed at the Top Ten Club in Hamburg, Germany.
In 1963, they won a recording deal with Decca Records, where their records were produced by American-born Shel Talmy, at that time the producer of the Bachelors (and later of the Kinks and the Who, among others). However, the group's first two singles, cover versions of Ray Sharpe's "Linda Lu" and Ritchie Valens' "Come On, Let's Go", were not successful, and they moved on to the Pye label. Their next record, a version of Del Shannon's "Kelly" which featured session musician Jimmy Page on guitar, reached No. 48 on the UK Singles Chart in March 1964, but the follow-up, "Portland Town", was not a hit. The group moved on again, to the Columbia label and then Parlophone, where they released a version of "Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead" from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. In 1964-65, they also appeared regularly as the backing-band on the BBC TV programme The Beat Room. Among artists backed by Gibson and his group were Millie Small, Long John Baldry, the Kinks, Herman's Hermits, Chris Farlowe, Manfred Mann, the Pretty Things, the Animals and Lulu and the Luvvers.
Gibson's later recordings were as a solo singer. In May 1966, he released a version of the Rolling Stones' "Under My Thumb", produced by Terry King. Again, it was not immediately a hit, and nor was his next record, a version of the Beatles' "For No One".
Gibson did not record after 1966 and seems to have left the professional entertainment business at that time. However, in 1972, the small Kingdom label reissued "For No One" in the UK. By 1974, "Under My Thumb" had become well known on the Northern soul club scene, and it was reissued on the Pye Disco Demand label. It rose to No. 17 on the UK chart in late 1974, and Gibson briefly re-emerged to promote it on Top of the Pops. His version of the song was described by journalist, Stuart Maconie as an "embarrassing novelty Northern soul hit".

# Weddell Polynya

The Weddell Polynya, or Weddell Sea Polynya, is a polynya, or irregular area of open water surrounded by sea ice, in the Weddell Sea of the Southern Ocean off Antarctica and near the Maud Rise. The formation of the polynya exposes relatively warmer ocean waters (at surface freezing temperatures of –1.9 °C) to a cold atmosphere, leading to a large exchange of heat which drives deep convection in the ocean, often reaching depths of 1,000 to 2,000 meters.

## Occurrences

The size of New Zealand, it re-occurred each winter between 1974 and 1976. These were the first three austral winters observed by the Nimbus 5 Electrically Scanning Microwave Radiometer (ESMR). From 1976 to 2015, this polynya was rarely observed. The polynya reoccurred in 2016, and has since appeared in 2017. The 2010s occurrence has been smaller than the 1970s occurrence, being about the size of Maine in 2017, or roughly 80,000 km$^2$ (31,000 sq mi).
Since the 1970s, the polar Southern Ocean south of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current has freshened and stratified, likely a result of anthropogenic climate change. Such stratification may be responsible for suppressing the return of the Weddell Sea polynya.
More recently, it was found that intense cyclones occurring over the ice pack, far south from the ice edge, were at the origin of the reoccurrence of the Weddell or Maud Rise Polynya in austral winter 2017. In certain winter months, the general atmospheric circulation around Antarctica exhibits a strong zonal wave 3 pattern, which favors the development of polar cyclones closer to the coast, that is, over preconditioned oceanographic areas for polynya formation, such as the Weddell Polynya in the Lazarev Sea and the Cosmonaut polynya in the Cosmonaut Sea around Antarctica.

## Other Antarctic polynyas

The presence of polynyas in McMurdo Sound provides an ice-free area where penguins can feed, and is therefore important for the survival of the Cape Royds penguin colony.

# Weedon Pinkney Priory

Weedon Pinkney Priory was a priory in Weedon Lois, Northamptonshire, England. It was established by Gilo de Pinkney during the reign of Henry I as a cell of the Abbey of St. Lucian, Beauvais (fr), and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin.
As an alien priory its wealth was taken by the crown during war with France. In 1392, the abbey already being destroyed by fire, the priory and all spiritual and temporal possessions and rights were conveyed to Biddlesden Abbey. A Royal Letter Patent of King Richard II in 1393 licensed the alienation, and in 1440 granted by the crown to the foundation of All Souls College, Oxford.

# Worr Libin

Worr Libin was an alliance of Cushitic-speaking population groups that inhabited various regions of northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia. It has been argued that the adoption of the Borana language by the other Somaloid Worr Libin groups reflected their acceptance of a regional Boran political hegemony. This period is thought to have lasted from 1550-1920.

## Origins

Schlee proposes that prior to 1550 two pastoral societies occupied the northern and southern reaches of Kenya and Ethiopia respectively. One group comprised 'Somaloid' pastoral groups that shared a cultural complex centered on arid-land camel keeping. The other was an Eastern Cushitic speaking community, best represented by the Borana who originated in southern Ethiopia.

## c.1550 Alliance

The Worr Liban alliance brought together the Borana with groups derived from the Worr Dasse (i.e culturally Somaloid but Boran-speaking).

## c.1876 Worr - Laikipiak conflict
### Background

Following their defeat and scattering at the hands of the Maasai, a large body of the Laikipiak Maasai moved north from what is now the Laikipia district. They took the Rendille people and livestock as their spoil and divided the loot up among themselves, living briefly as parasites within this community.
When however they wanted to move the whole of Rendille society and make them follow them elsewhere, Rendille warriors who had been hiding in the bush attacked them and drove them north in a bloody battle.

### Battle

Following their expulsion from Rendille, the Laikipiak moved north, raiding cattle and driving large herds along, until they were beaten by Worr Liban cavalry near Buna.
A British researcher in 1917 gave an estimated date of 1876 for the conflict and a probable location at Korondile.

## Early 20th century
### Alliance break-up

What has been termed the Pax Borana began to break-up in the 1920s from several sources of disturbance. Most noted has been pressure exerted in Wajir and Mandera by an unintended alliance of British and Darood Somali during the period when the Pax Britannica was coming into force.
